00:00.000 --> 00:06.100
Chapter 31 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, Avenge the children of Israel of

00:06.100 --> 00:06.820
the Midianites.

00:07.520 --> 00:09.900
Afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy
people.

00:10.320 --> 00:14.120
And Moses spake unto the people,
saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the

00:14.120 --> 00:18.820
war, and let them go against the
Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.

00:19.660 --> 00:24.620
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all
the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the

00:24.620 --> 00:24.880
war.

00:25.120 --> 00:28.980
So there were delivered out of the
thousands of Israel, a thousand of every

00:28.980 --> 00:31.620
tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

00:32.040 --> 00:36.040
And Moses sent them to the war,
a thousand of every tribe, them and

00:36.040 --> 00:40.880
Phinehas the son of Eliezer the priest,
to the war, with the holy instruments and

00:40.880 --> 00:42.860
the trumpets to blow in his hand.

00:43.400 --> 00:47.760
And they warred against the Midianites,
as the LORD commanded Moses, and they slew

00:47.760 --> 00:48.680
all the males.

00:49.220 --> 00:52.780
And they slew the kings of Midian,
beside the rest of them that were slain,

00:53.140 --> 00:58.700
namely Evi, and Recham, and Zur,
and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian.

00:59.140 --> 01:02.160
Balaam also, the son of Beor, they slew
with the sword.

01:02.580 --> 01:06.500
And the children of Israel took all the
women of Midian captives, and their little

01:06.500 --> 01:10.400
ones, and took the spoil of all their
cattle, and all their flocks, and all

01:10.400 --> 01:10.940
their goods.

01:11.360 --> 01:15.180
And they burnt all their cities wherein
they dwelt, and all their goodly castles

01:15.180 --> 01:15.800
with fire.

01:16.000 --> 01:19.980
And they took all the spoil and all the
prey, both of men and of beasts.

01:20.360 --> 01:23.780
And they brought the captives,
and the prey, and the spoil unto Moses and

01:23.780 --> 01:27.380
Eliezer the priest, and unto the
congregation of the children of Israel,

01:27.380 --> 01:31.180
unto the camp at the plains of Moab,
which are by Jordan near Jericho.

01:31.680 --> 01:35.380
And Moses and Eliezer the priest,
and all the princes of the congregation,

01:35.660 --> 01:37.420
went forth to meet them without the camp.

01:37.800 --> 01:41.220
And Moses was wroth with the officers of
the host, with the captains over

01:41.220 --> 01:44.300
thousands, and captains over hundreds
which came from the battle.

01:44.660 --> 01:47.900
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved
all the women alive?

01:48.920 --> 01:53.400
Behold, these caused the children of
Israel, through the counsel of Balaam,

01:53.780 --> 01:57.200
to commit trespass against the Lord in the
matter of Peor.

01:58.000 --> 02:00.740
And there was a plague among the
congregation of the Lord.

02:01.880 --> 02:07.100
Now therefore kill every male among the
little ones, and kill every woman that

02:07.100 --> 02:09.160
hath known man by lying with him.

02:09.940 --> 02:13.980
But all the women children, that have not
known a man by lying with him,

02:14.440 --> 02:15.700
keep alive for yourselves.

02:16.660 --> 02:19.720
And do ye abide without the camp seven
days.

02:20.200 --> 02:24.920
Whosoever hath killed any person,
and whosoever hath touched any slain,

02:24.920 --> 02:30.620
purify both yourselves and your captives
on the third day, and on the seventh day.

02:31.340 --> 02:37.140
And purify all your raiment, and all that
is made of skins, and all work of goat's

02:37.140 --> 02:39.260
hair, and all things made of wood.

02:39.760 --> 02:43.720
And Eliezer the priest said unto the men
of war which went to the battle,

02:43.860 --> 02:47.560
This is the ordinance of the law which the
Lord commanded Moses.

02:48.440 --> 02:52.380
Only the gold, and the silver,
the brass, the iron, the tin, and the

02:52.380 --> 02:56.820
lead, Everything that may abide the fire,
ye shall make it go through the fire,

02:57.020 --> 02:58.140
and it shall be clean.

02:58.600 --> 03:01.700
Nevertheless it shall be purified with the
water of separation.

03:02.160 --> 03:05.700
And all that abideth not the fire,
ye shall make go through the water.

03:06.100 --> 03:09.920
And ye shall wash your clothes on the
seventh day, and ye shall be clean.

03:10.200 --> 03:12.600
And afterward ye shall come into the camp.

03:12.980 --> 03:16.440
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Take the sum of the prey that was

03:16.440 --> 03:22.100
taken, both of man and of beast,
thou and Eliezer the priest, and the chief

03:22.100 --> 03:27.280
fathers of the congregation, and divide
the prey into two parts, between them that

03:27.280 --> 03:31.700
took the war upon them, who went out to
battle, and between all the congregation.

03:32.660 --> 03:36.460
And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the
men of war which went out to battle,

03:37.020 --> 03:42.200
one soul of five hundred, both of the
persons, and of the beaves, and of the

03:42.200 --> 03:43.760
asses, and of the sheep.

03:44.560 --> 03:49.120
Take it of their half, and give it unto
Eliezer the priest for an heave offering

03:49.120 --> 03:49.760
of the Lord.

03:50.300 --> 03:54.960
And of the children of Israel's half,
thou shalt take one portion of fifty,

03:55.500 --> 04:00.260
of the persons, of the beaves,
of the asses, and of the flocks of all

04:00.260 --> 04:04.740
manner of beasts, and give them unto the
Levites, which keep the charge of the

04:04.740 --> 04:05.820
tabernacle of the Lord.

04:06.040 --> 04:10.160
And Moses and Eliezer the priest did as
the Lord commanded Moses.

04:10.380 --> 04:13.860
And the booty, being the rest of the prey
which the men of war had caught,

04:14.100 --> 04:17.540
was six hundred thousand, and seventy
thousand, and five thousand sheep,

04:17.540 --> 04:22.380
and threescore and twelve thousand beaves,
and threescore and one thousand asses,

04:22.640 --> 04:26.940
and thirty and two thousand persons in
all, of women that had not known man by

04:26.940 --> 04:27.720
lying with him.

04:28.080 --> 04:31.940
And the half, which was the portion of
them that went out to war, was in number

04:31.940 --> 04:35.700
three hundred thousand, and seven and
thirty thousand, and five hundred sheep.

04:36.060 --> 04:39.300
And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was
six hundred and threescore and fifteen,

04:39.700 --> 04:43.520
and the beaves were thirty and six
thousand, of which the Lord's tribute was

04:43.520 --> 04:44.580
threescore and twelve.

04:44.580 --> 04:48.720
And the asses were thirty thousand and
five hundred, of which the Lord's tribute

04:48.720 --> 04:49.940
was threescore and one.

04:50.360 --> 04:54.320
And the persons were sixteen thousand,
of which the Lord's tribute was thirty and

04:54.320 --> 04:54.880
two persons.

04:55.440 --> 04:59.680
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the
Lord's heave offering, unto Eliezer the

04:59.680 --> 05:01.560
priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

05:02.200 --> 05:05.800
And of the children of Israel's half,
which Moses divided from the men that

05:05.800 --> 05:10.020
warred, now the half that pertained unto
the congregation was three hundred

05:10.020 --> 05:13.740
thousand and thirty thousand, and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep,

05:14.120 --> 05:17.840
and thirty and six thousand beaves,
and thirty thousand asses and five

05:17.840 --> 05:20.000
hundred, and sixteen thousand persons.

05:20.580 --> 05:24.800
Even of the children of Israel's half,
Moses took one portion of fifty,

05:25.120 --> 05:29.340
both of man and of beast, and gave them
unto the Levites, which kept the charge of

05:29.340 --> 05:32.320
the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord
commanded Moses.

05:32.840 --> 05:36.600
And the officers which were over thousands
of the host, the captains of thousands,

05:36.820 --> 05:38.900
and captains of hundreds, came near unto
Moses.

05:39.380 --> 05:43.460
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants
have taken the sum of the men of war which

05:43.460 --> 05:47.020
are under our charge, and there lacketh
not one man of us.

05:47.480 --> 05:51.600
We have therefore brought an oblation for
the Lord, what every man hath gotten,

05:52.160 --> 05:58.000
of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,
rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an

05:58.000 --> 06:00.180
atonement for our souls before the Lord.

06:00.640 --> 06:05.300
And Moses and Eliezer the priest took the
gold of them, even all wrought jewels,

06:05.660 --> 06:09.320
and all the gold of the offering that they
offered up to the Lord, of the captains of

06:09.320 --> 06:13.000
thousands, and of the captains of
hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven

06:13.000 --> 06:17.200
hundred and fifty shekels, for the men of
war had taken spoil every man for himself.

06:17.740 --> 06:22.160
And Moses and Eliezer the priest took the
gold of the captains of thousands and of

06:22.160 --> 06:25.000
hundreds, and brought it into the
tabernacle of the congregation,

06:25.520 --> 06:28.360
for a memorial for the children of Israel
before the Lord.
